The problem with this, is that an important element of sound design is matching the audio element to the visual element. With game sound design, the visual aspect and the aural aspect are linked because the two need to sync up in order to *feel* good. A sound in a game can't just sound good, it needs to feel good as well. So if I explain my process of creating a power sound, for example, the reader needs to know what kind of visual material I was working with because I base many of my production decisions on what I see.

This reminds me, make sure to include audio samples in your posts where relevant!

Replace Blizzard with VALVe as Blizzard hasn't made a damn thing worthwhile in years (cept maybe Starcraft 2, depending on who you ask) in order to keep that gargantuan cash cow of theirs going full tilt, and remove Bungie since they sold their soul to the de- errrr, Microsoft. Seriously, Bungie needs to tell Microsoft buzz off and get together with Gearbox and start making pure gold like they used to.

In all seriousness, there aren't many AAA developers anymore. Everyone is too busy trying to make money to make a good game or innovate, which was the exact same thing that led to the video game market crash in the 80s.

Um. Bungie bought thier soul back from Microsoft and are now renting it to Activision.
And AAA means extremely high Metacrtic ratings and Gamer good faith.

People buy games from those studios I listed without question or doubt.
Try saying the same for Cryptic studios.
